First of all, today I had to suffer hearing kids talk about Halo 3 all through the school day, luckily for me the real Halo fanboys stayed home to play it. I don’t have a problem with Halo, but I do have a problem with kids who disrupt class by loudly talking about how they camped out for it and how it’s the “coolest game ever,” especially when they’ve barely played any games outside the Halo series. I haven’t played Halo 3 yet, but I watched the ending on YouTube and have seen enough gameplay to conclude that it looks the same as Halo 2 to me. Surely I’ll find out what’s new when I end up playing it though. I could never play Halo seriously like so many kids do. The online community is something that I never want to be a part of and the environment/mapping and characters bore me beyond belief. I will say that playing Halo with a couple of friends on LAN is awesome though, the gameplay is great and you know the people that you’re playing with so they don’t have internet anonymity to allow them to act shit faced without consequences, such as getting hit with a keyboard.
